“Theatre isn’t a 'white art'. It’s just an Art. However, it would be naïve and hypocritical to say it hasn’t benefited from systemic racism and that it’s not full of white privileges. Of course, change is on its way, and even with our theatres closed still due to the pandemic, we can start the change now. So here are five times I questioned myself and my privileges thanks to the theatre. “

“Your directors are responsible for the tenor, vision, and production of their shows but your theatre is ultimately responsible for its directors. Give them every chance and resource to be successful, but don’t be afraid to weed out a director who isn’t up to par.”

“When it comes to BFA theatre programs, the questions and perspective between white and BIPOC students. differ greatly. What might be a perfect situation for a white student might not before someone who is not. So here are some “red flags” that BIPOC students should look for when evaluating some of these BFA theatre colleges.”

If you’re like me, you’re missing Broadway pretty hard. Thankfully the folks over at ‘Company’ posted a special virtual performance of the show’s opening number and it’s really good.

We will never not share a beautiful performance of beautiful music. This is why we want you to check out this outstanding video performance of Jason Robert Brown’s ‘The New World’.

“It’s more important than ever that we allow shows like ‘Ragtime’ to be performed uncensored even though racial slurs are in the script. We can't keep saying racism is wrong without showing what racism actually is.”

Much has been made over the closing of Broadway shows due to COVID-19. There’s no question of how that virus would’ve put the cast and crew at risk by performing every night in front of thousands of people. We’ve also started to see the strict measures that have to be in place for those shows to reopen. But some news this morning regarding how the virus may have infected a specific Broadway cast is proving how quickly it can spread backstage.

“In the past week, there has been a newfound call to arms for theatres across the globe to make their stages more diverse when they resume operations. However, not every community theatre can do this. Not every community is diverse enough or has the talent pool to produce heavily diverse shows. So what shows can they produce to bring more performers of color to their stages?”

“Over the past two days, Broadway Radio decided to dismiss and disqualify the serious issue of political donations made by Broadway power players. What shouldn’t surprise you is that this is how many of these Broadway entities treat stories of marginalization within the industry.”
